BTW, how many drinks did you have the night before because that pic of the BM is pretty shaky!<br />Thanks for the tour of New Orleans. I have always wanted to go there. Another 'maybe someday'!<br />Good luck with figuring out your routine and sitter. We are buckling down on the routine around here as well.<br />Take care MO!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625072867488523881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292605187112994711.post-30304026858600036102010-09-03T11:34:48.402-05:002010-09-03T11:34:48.402-05:00It did it again!!! 3post!!

You are...Mo it's normal to have days like that! You are human and not every day is gonna be sunny and bubbly. <br /><br />As long as the "not so postive" days are not prolonged, is when its starts becoming "unhealthy".<br /><br />I like the fact you realize it, you acknowledge it, you are correcting it and gaining a postive aspect to rise above it! <br /><br />Now...let's discuss this N'awlins post! I love this quaint, and crazy city! It's packed w/so much to do around every bin! LITERALLY!! I remember one year it was like 8 of us visting N.O. for a bday celebration for my both my sisters-in-law! We all shopped at the French Market that whole day and packed the car w/our pkgs and "small finds"! Well, on the way back to the hotel *we stayed in Slidell* we got lost trying to find our way back to the hotel! We made wrong turns on ONE WAY streets, narrow streets and by mistake,a dead end alley! As we tried to back out, we noticed some ppl were dancing around a fire. It's not an odd sight to see dancing on the streets in N.O. but this was some STRANGE dancing! We had heard the "voodoo" stories so we were like SCARED out of our pants and we tried to not "look" at the folks as we cautiously backed out!!! Well outta of nowhere the biggest cockroach in the state of Louisiana flew through our window and let me tell ya, if you ever wanna see 1 BIG cockroach make 8 grownfolks act a fool in 1 overpacked SUV, well that was the time! I was 7mos pregnant and was caught in the melee!! I thought for sure I was gonna deliver this kid in the alley of N.O. the way I was carrying on! I was more scared of the fact that my child would for sure have a "cockroach" birthmark!! LOL!! Oh my goodness talk about freaked us out! We were screaming and trying to get out the doors and those "dancers" just kept dancing, never even batted an eye!! Seems like the more we screamed, the faster they danced~the roach was everywhere in that car!!! <br /><br />We finally got the varmint out the car and as we gathered our wits, and backed out on 2 wheels *yeah we were moving that fast*! My brother in the backseat (who finally found his effort to talk) said in a frazzled voice "I had planned to throw this "fake roach" on yall at the hotel, but it seems like this "damn thing" came alive! Can you say...."that fake roach" was left in that alley that night! We still laugh about that to this day!!!<br /><br />Well my kid did not "inherit" the roach birthmark...strangely enough though, he has a strange penchant for late night snacking in the kitchen...long after the lights are off and we have gone to bed!!! Ya think maybe.....Naaaaaaah....couldnt be!

(You would never know by your upbeat, awesome posts!) I guess it's just the cross we bear as mothers, wives, and working women. The really cool thing is that when I look back on my days (...even the crazy, stressful ones) I realize that life is really, really good, and I am really, really blessed.
